Our FIRST White Christmas

We never dreamed of having a White Christmas at The Vineyards Campground! But we did... and the snow lasted almost two whole days... And Terri Ann and Henry show off their 5-tier snowman!

After all, its been almost 30-years in the Dallas-Fort Worth area since it last snowed on Christmas Eve. But what a perfect night for our Christmas Light contest! Hats off to Rosie and Walt for judging the contest in the freezing cold weather; you know our Camp Hosts are really awesome when they go the extra mile in a BLIZZARD to do that for us on the campground!

Winners of the 2009 Christmas Decorating Contest are: Ray and Carol Manning (sleigh and reindeer above right) from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, on Site #2, won two tickets to The Grapevine Opry at the Palace Theatre in downtown historical Grapevine; Dave and Susie Murray from El Paso, Texas, on Site #54 recieved a $50 Gift Certificate to spend at Wal-Mart; and Constance Logan from Naples, Florida, on Site #25 recieved complimentary tickets to the Gaylord Texan Resort's holiday show —"ICE." The Peoples Choice Award, voted as the favorite by campers onsite, went to Orland and Julie Butler from Heartsfield, Virginia, who received two FREE RV nights with us for their decorated RV (above left).

Congratulations and thanks to all for joining in the holiday fun. The sun out, and now that we've had our 'snowstorm'... we're ready for Spring!
